RecombinantDCIP-1/CXCL3, Mouse

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 3 (CXCL3) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as DCIP-1 (dendritic cell inflammatory protein-1) or MIP­2b. CXCL3 controls migration and adhesion of monocytes and mediates its effect on its target cell by interacting with cell surface chemokine receptor CXCR2. It has been shown that CXCL3 regulates the migration of precursors of cerebellar granule neurons toward the internal layers of cerebellum, during morphogenesis. Recombinant mouse DCIP-1/CXCL3 produced in CHO cells is a polypeptide chain containing 73 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rmDCIP-1/CXCL3 has a molecular mass of 8 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
